The Best Hog for the South.

A correspondent of the Rural MESSENGER
says the Southern farmer must find his hogs
among the black or at least dark breeds.
Of the blacks the Essex is the prettiest hog
of them ala model of gentleness and
quietness, always fat, no matter how kept,
and his influence on the progeny of the
common sow is unequaled by any other
male. But the breed is rather small and
the pure breed pigs do not start very well.
The Berkshire is well known. His blood
courses ia the veins of thousands of good
hogs all over the land. Anywhere can be
heard part Berkshire" as ample proof
that a hog is good one But with his
many good points-not forgetting that most
excellent meat-he is too much inclined to
be mischievous and even vicious, and is not
to be tolerated where ranges and fences are
not first class, and where they cannot be
kept separate from the stock The Poland
Chinas are not so generally known. 1t is a
spotted hog and somewhat coarser than the
entire blacks, but has all their good points
and is free from the objections that lie
against the other breeds They are large,
yet as the Essex-almost any sort of fence
will control them; the sows are most excel
lent mothers. The pigs start off promptly,
grow well and fatten well at any age They
are "a good corn-crib hog and lard pro-
ducer,n and that is high commentator; for
twist and whip around the matter as we
may, we have not solved the problem of a
suitable substitute for corn as pork pro-
Queer, and the hog that pays the best re-
turn for its feed is the hog we must look

How To XII Nut Grass.

In the May issue of the Cultirator writes
Mrs. j. S. r. Thompson, of Spartanburg,
>. C.: see an inquiry as to nut grass--how
to destroy it. Only two evenings ago had
an interesting conversation with Judge B.
c. Presley, of Summerville, S. c., in which
he stated that he had seen a 20-acre field so
thick with nut grass that not one inch of
earth was exposed. The farmer first run a
furrow to cover space six feet wide around
the fence of the entire field, afterwards
planted in cotton which he cultivated the
entire season with a sweep every ten days.
The first season he had poor cotton crop,
but splendid crops of nut grass. The sec
ond season there was no noticeable dininu-
tion in grade of grass, but perceptible in
crease in cotton crop. The third season
there was grand crop of cotton and poor
yellow crop of nut grass. The fourth sea-
son there was not a blade of nut grass and
he expected to realize nearly one bale of
cotton to the acre. He argued in this way
The nuts were connected with cord-like
roots to each other and this continues four
years; shaving off every ten days of the
green tops of the grass so weakened it that
at the fourth they had no vitality left in
them; that in blowing them out you only
destroy part, but leave in the earth thou
sands of young nuts which go on and grow
as vigorously as if never disturbed. Ihope
this win enlighten the inquirer, "A. P. A y
of st. Mathews, S. c., who can go to the
fountain head of information if have not
been explicit enough.
If nut grass could be destroyed in the
South it would be worth untold millions of
dollars to Southern farmers. 1t would be a
good thing for many farmers to give the
above experiment a complete test and then
report results in the journals of the country
1t would be useless to give the matter a
careless or convenient test it should be
thorough and complete, and the experiment
and results should be clearly defined.

fine and send to the table garnished with
hard-boiled eggs.
APPLE FooL.-Peel, core and thinly slice
some apples of a kind that viii cook to a
soft pulp; put them in stone jar, with
sufficient white sugar TO sweeten and two
tablespoonful of water. Place the jar in a
saucepan of hot water and boil until the
apples are very soft. Then turn the apples
out of the jar into bowl and beat them
into smooth pulp. Let it stand to get
quite cold and then mix sufficient with it to
mix it of the right consistency, or some
custard not favored. Put in custard glasses
or in glass dish and CRATE a little nutmeg
over it. The natural flavor of the apples is
most delicate in this dish, and therefore any
tiavoring but the smallest soupeon of nut
meg spoils it.
ONE WAY TO Cook CUTLEr.-Fry an
onion finely minced a delicate brown in
butter Add half a pint of hot water, a

them between two dishes under weight
When perfectly cold trim them nicely
Reduce the sauce one-half after removing
the fat; add a Glove of garlic finely minced,
two large tablespoonfuls of minced mush

the mince is quite firm and then spread it
on both sides of the outlet. Sprinkle some
lemon juice over them, wrap them neatly
in buttered white paper and put them in
in the oven for ten minutes.

Manures in Different Kinds of Soils.

The Farm, Field and SOcknlan, speaking
of the effect of manures on sandy and clay
soils, says that long manure on sandy soils
tend to make the land still more dry, and
hence should only be applied to this kind of
soil in thoroughly rotted condition, or
better as compost. What sandy soil lacks,
as rule, is humus, and compost or thor
oughly manure is in just the condition to
kindly perform this Office. Many persons,
perhaps majority, suppose that manures
leach down through sandy soils and are lost
If the soil is nearly clear sand this effect
will take place if some crop is not grown
thereon. But crops on sandy soils, in the
presence of manure, eat out manure very
fast and hence this apparent disappearance
of manure is accounted for. 1t goes quickly
into the crop if in soluble state. Loans
and clays, on the contrary, take up and hold
manure indefinitely if not accepted by crops.
If occupied by crops it is given up, but all
the constituents Of plant growth being
present the eating out of manure is not SO
quickly seen. The reason why manure is
more quickly eaten out of sandy soils is
that they are more porous than clay soils
and hence more amenable to the action of
the oxygen of the air, and this action of
oxygen upon any material liable to decay
is what reduces such material to a state by
which it may be taken up by plants. Hence
if the soil is clayey long undigested manure
will be indicated. It tends to render such
soils more light and porous. On sandy soils
every means possible should be used to rem
der the soil as compact as possible, while the
naturally firm clay soils require the greatest
possible disintegration to render them the
most productive. Yet there should always
be due relation to compactness in any soil
to reach the best results.

The Oil Test for Milk.

The Philadelphia Record, in discussing
the oil test to determine the butter value of
milk. says that though experts were san
e,line that they had at last found an easy
and ready means of detecting adulterated
milk, recent experiments on behalf of the
Wisconsin Dairymen's Association have de-
monstrated that the oil test does not give
correct measurement of the butter fat in
milk. 1t was found that the oil of the same
cow or herd seemed disposed to self-emulsi-
fcation on some days more than on others
and took up water or whey in some cases,
so that four-pound seemed to become
six-pound cow i'll production. Two inches
of butter oil would expand to three inches
from the amount of water it contained, yet
gave no sign to the eye that it contained a
drop of water. There was apparently more
butter fat in the measuring tubes than
sample of gathered cream makes, as the oil
and water will emulsify as much and as
quickly with the oil Of cream as it will with
the oil of milk. AS surer means of detec-
ton the plan was adopted of weighing the
butter produced with a delicate scale. A
table was then compiled which showed the
proportion of butter in 100 pounds of milk,
the weight of the sample being represented
in grains, without reducing the butter to
oil. The method was tried in comparison
with the oil test, and on several trials the
weighing came nearer to the yield of the
regular churn than did the oil test. At the
same time careful chemical analyses were
made in order to verify the results, and it
was demonstrated that the same cows va
ried the amount of fat $500 of pound in
100 pounds of milk in "a hours The expert
ments show that there is too much variation
in each cows product daily to accept sin
gle test as indicative of its qualifications,
and that the oil test, as at present in use,
requires the application of some method by
which every drop Of water can be driven
off before it can be accepted as giving a
correct measurement of the amount of but
ter fat in milk. The value of the expert
ments cannot be overestimated, as the oil
test is extensively used to assist in deter
mining the quality of the milk and butter
of certain cows with high records After
all, however, it seems as if the competitors
must return to the churning and weighing
process, using only the butter itself, until
some safe mode shall have been discovered
in place of simply guessing at the amount
of oil in the milk.

The Use of Cotton Batting to Pr eserve
Fruits.

Fruits.
The New Orleans Picdytne SAYS that
when NJ Pasteur advanced his theory that
all fermentation was caused by organisms
so minute that they floated about in the air
he very soon announced that, according to
his experiments, these small bodies would
not pass through cotton. Now, if they can
not go through cotton, and if they are the
cause of fermentation, cotton will prevent
the canned fruit from spelling. Many peo-
pie have experimental with it and find it a
success. The cotton is simply tied over the
boiled fruit while it is still hot, serving to
keep the germs out just as efficiently as the
rubber ring or any amount of wax. In
several experiments tried with five kinds of
fruit and tomatoes the results were per-
fectly satisfactory in every case, not even a
particle of mold forming in the can. In
most cases the cotton was simply tied over
the canful of hot fruit; in some cases there
was piece of white paper put on first to
prevent the cotton from dropping down and
becoming juice-soaked. This seems to be
the preferable way The cotton is taken
Just as it comes off the roll, the thickness
being about as it unwinds, and it is tied
down with strong Irvine. If this should be
as successful with all fruit Gamers as here,
there is no longer need for patent fruit cans;
for any bottle with wide neck suitable to
receive the fruit, or any jar with glazing
which is perfect, to allow no entrance of air
through its walls, will be all-sufiicient for
keeping the fruit for winter use.
We have noticed the statements of several
who have used cotton batting in place of
sealing wax or other materials, in excluding
air from fruit jars and they all say their
success was complete. If this mode of seal
ing fruit in glass jars continues to be sue
cessful it will prove less expensive and more
convenient than the old processes which
often prove quite defective.

Washing Butter.

The experience of experts in buttermak-
ing has been freely given of late years. Ex-
periments have not been neglected. Mr.. F.
d. Curtis, well known in dairy circles, COM
municates the following to the Rural NetU
Yorker on the subject:
Many things have been learned about
buttermaking within the last few years.
One thing is how to wash and handle but
ter. Henceforth there will be no two theo-
ries or practices about washing butter.
Some used to think it injured the butter by
washing the sugar out of it and they would
actually add sugar to make up for the loss.
Some do this even now. But sugar is not
wanted in butter 1t is too unstable a
compound and soon decomposes, to enter
into new combinations and play the mis-
chief. The first change is for the sugar to
turn to Tactic fluid, and one of the strongest
arguments in favor of sour-cream butter is
the fact that this change occurs and the
sugar is largely disposed of before churning.
Washing takes out the buttermilk and the
Tactic acid-composed of the sugar-with
1t, as it does other materials that will not
keep like the pure butter fat. This improves
the flavor and the keeping quality of the
butter. This is true now and will always be
true But before this washing or not wash
ing was merely empirical and controlled by
whim or prejudice, the dairyman not know
ing precisely the effect produced by washing
any more than he did the effect of the sugar
upon the butter 1t is not difficult to estab-
fish general rules when the facts are known
and the principles are understood But
there are certain things depending upon
condition which cannot be governed by
specified rules, and which, therefore, call
for the exercise of judgment on the part Of
the daryman. When we can dispense with
the use of brains we can dispense with the
dairyman.
